Left-wing radio host Dean Obeidallah said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Leadout” that the Republican Party is a “fascist movement” that uses violence to gain power.
“Apparently yesterday was Bring a Terrorist to Work Day, because that’s what it is,” Obeidallah said. “What pisses me off so much is that January 6th was an act of domestic terrorism. That’s what FBI Director Christopher Wray testified about in the House and the Senate. Republicans know it. Senator Ted Cruz also leaked information that it was an act of terrorism, and he had to apologize for telling the truth. They welcomed terrorists into the Capitol yesterday. This is like welcoming Bin Laden to Ground Zero three and a half years after 9/11. They went to the Capitol, they cheered for him, they sang songs for him, they gave him a ball at the congressional baseball game the day before.”
He added, “Today’s Republican Party is deadly to democracy, and that is historically true. The Republican Party is not the Democratic Party. It is not a political party as we know it. It is an anti-democratic fascist movement that seeks to gain and maintain power through violence. We’ll see what happens on November 5th. Who knows what they’ll do to us? The danger is that Republicans will go along with whatever Trump demands, en masse. That makes them very dangerous.”
